Silly question? Cloud syncing new iPhone TODAY now that MobileME is dead (and iCloud not yet born?)

Thanks guys. I was aware that there are other methods using Exchange and/or Google, but the goal was ultimately to go to iCloud, and learning one non-Apple system for all those services for a few months before going back might be more than the grey matter can handle.

Hoping there was an easy work around, but these folks will probably just stick to hard syncing until iCloud is out.

I'm over it. But as rjmacs suggests, it is a head scratcher as to why this was necessary on Apple's part.
